The indexing used here follows that given in the classic books by Riordan and Comtet. For two other versions see A173018 and A123125. - N. J. A. Sloane, Nov 21 2010
Coefficients of Eulerian polynomials. Number of permutations of n objects with k-1 rises. Number of increasing rooted trees with n+1 nodes and k leaves.
T(n,k) = number of permutations of [n] with k runs. T(n,k) = number of permutations of [n] requiring k readings (see the Knuth reference). T(n,k) = number of permutations of [n] having k distinct entries in its inversion table. - Emeric Deutsch, Jun 09 2004
T(n,k) = number of ways to write the Coxeter element s_{e1}s_{e1-e2}s_{e2-e3}s_{e3-e4}...s_{e_{n-1}-e_n} of the reflection group of type B_n, using s_{e_k} and as few reflections of the form s_{e_i+e_j}, where i = 1, 2, ..., n and j is not equal to i, as possible. - Pramook Khungurn (pramook(AT)mit.edu), Jul 07 2004
Subtriangle for k>=1 and n>=1 of triangle A123125. - Philippe Deléham, Oct 22 2006
T(n,k)/n! also represents the n-dimensional volume of the portion of the n-dimensional hypercube cut by the (n-1)-dimensional hyperplanes x_1 + x_2 + ... x_n = k, x_1 + x_2 + ... x_n = k-1; or, equivalently, it represents the probability that the sum of n independent random variables with uniform distribution between 0 and 1 is between k-1 and k. - Stefano Zunino, Oct 25 2006
[E(.,t)/(1-t)]^n = n!*Lag[n,-P(.,t)/(1-t)] and [-P(.,t)/(1-t)]^n = n!*Lag[n, E(.,t)/(1-t)] umbrally comprise a combinatorial Laguerre transform pair, where E(n,t) are the Eulerian polynomials and P(n,t) are the polynomials in A131758. - Tom Copeland, Sep 30 2007
From Tom Copeland, Oct 07 2008: (Start)
G(x,t) = 1/(1 + (1-exp(x*t))/t) = 1 + 1*x + (2+t)*x^2/2! + (6+6*t+t^2)*x^3/3! + ... gives row polynomials for A090582, the reverse f-polynomials for the permutohedra (see A019538).
G(x,t-1) = 1 + 1*x + (1+t)*x^2/2! + (1+4*t+t^2)*x^3/3! + ... gives row polynomials for A008292, the h-polynomials for permutohedra (Postnikov et al.).
G((t+1)*x, -1/(t+1)) = 1 + (1+t)*x + (1+3*t+2*t^2)*x^2/2! + ... gives row polynomials for A028246.
(End)
A subexceedant function f on [n] is a map f:[n] -> [n] such that 1 <= f(i) <= i for all i, 1 <= i <= n. T(n,k) equals the number of subexceedant functions f of [n] such that the image of f has cardinality k [Mantaci & Rakotondrajao]. Example T(3,2) = 4: if we identify a subexceedant function f with the word f(1)f(2)...f(n) then the subexceedant functions on [3] are 111, 112, 113, 121, 122 and 123 and four of these functions have an image set of cardinality 2. - Peter Bala, Oct 21 2008
Further to the comments of Tom Copeland above, the n-th row of this triangle is the h-vector of the simplicial complex dual to a permutohedron of type A_(n-1). The corresponding f-vectors are the rows of A019538. For example, 1 + 4*x + x^2 = y^2 + 6*y + 6 and 1 + 11*x + 11*x^2 + x^3 = y^3 + 14*y^2 + 36*y + 24, where x = y + 1, give [1,6,6] and [1,14,36,24] as the third and fourth rows of A019538. The Hilbert transform of this triangle (see A145905 for the definition) is A047969. See A060187 for the triangle of Eulerian numbers of type B (the h-vectors of the simplicial complexes dual to permutohedra of type B). See A066094 for the array of h-vectors of type D. For tables of restricted Eulerian numbers see A144696 - A144699. - Peter Bala, Oct 26 2008
For a natural refinement of A008292 with connections to compositional inversion and iterated derivatives, see A145271. - Tom Copeland, Nov 06 2008
The polynomials E(z,n) = numerator(Sum_{k>=1} (-1)^(n+1)*k^n*z^(k-1)) for n >=1 lead directly to the triangle of Eulerian numbers. - Johannes W. Meijer, May 24 2009
From Walther Janous (walther.janous(AT)tirol.com), Nov 01 2009: (Start)
The (Eulerian) polynomials e(n,x) = Sum_{k=0..n-1} T(n,k+1)*x^k turn out to be also the numerators of the closed-form expressions of the infinite sums:
S(p,x) = Sum_{j>=0} (j+1)^p*x^j, that is
S(p,x) = e(p,x)/(1-x)^(p+1), whenever |x| < 1 and p is a positive integer.
(Note the inconsistent use of T(n,k) in the section listing the formula section. I adhere tacitly to the first one.) (End)
If n is an odd prime, then all numbers of the (n-2)-th and (n-1)-th rows are in the progression k*n+1. - Vladimir Shevelev, Jul 01 2011
The Eulerian triangle is an element of the formula for the r-th successive summation of Sum_{k=1..n} k^j which appears to be Sum_{k=1..n} T(j,k-1) * binomial(j-k+n+r, j+r). - Gary Detlefs, Nov 11 2011
Li and Wong show that T(n,k) counts the combinatorially inequivalent star polygons with n+1 vertices and sum of angles (2*k-n-1)*Pi. An equivalent formulation is: define the total sign change S(p) of a permutation p in the symmetric group S_n to be equal to Sum_{i=1..n} sign(p(i)-p(i+1)), where we take p(n+1) = p(1). T(n,k) gives the number of permutations q in S_(n+1) with q(1) = 1 and S(q) = 2*k-n-1. For example, T(3,2) = 4 since in S_4 the permutations (1243), (1324), (1342) and (1423) have total sign change 0. - Peter Bala, Dec 27 2011
Xiong, Hall and Tsao refer to Riordan and mention that a traditional Eulerian number A(n,k) is the number of permutations of (1,2...n) with k weak exceedances. - Susanne Wienand, Aug 25 2014
Connections to algebraic geometry/topology and characteristic classes are discussed in the Buchstaber and Bunkova, the Copeland, the Hirzebruch, the Lenart and Zainoulline, the Losev and Manin, and the Sheppeard links; to the Grassmannian, in the Copeland, the Farber and Postnikov, the Sheppeard, and the Williams links; and to compositional inversion and differential operators, in the Copeland and the Parker links. - Tom Copeland, Oct 20 2015
The bivariate e.g.f. noted in the formulas is related to multiplying edges in certain graphs discussed in the Aluffi-Marcolli link. See p. 42. - Tom Copeland, Dec 18 2016
Distribution of left children in treeshelves is given by a shift of the Eulerian numbers. Treeshelves are ordered binary (0-1-2) increasing trees where every child is connected to its parent by a left or a right link. See A278677, A278678 or A278679 for more definitions and examples. - Sergey Kirgizov, Dec 24 2016
The row polynomial P(n, x) = Sum_{k=1..n} T(n, k)*x^k appears in the numerator of the o.g.f. G(n, x) = Sum_{m>=0} S(n, m)*x^m with S(n, m) = Sum_{j=0..m} j^n for n >= 1 as G(n, x) = Sum_{k=1..n} P(n, x)/(1 - x)^(n+2) for n >= 0 (with 0^0=1). See also triangle A131689 with a Mar 31 2017 comment for a rewritten form. For the e.g.f see A028246 with a Mar 13 2017 comment. - Wolfdieter Lang, Mar 31 2017

Four characterizations of Eulerian numbers T(i, n):
1. T(0, n)=1 for n>=1, T(i, 1)=0 for i>=1, T(i, n) = (n-i)T(i-1, n-1) + (i+1)T(i, n-1).
2. T(i, n) = Sum_{j=0..i} (-1)^j*binomial(n+1,j)*(i-j+1)^n for n>=1, i>=0.
3. Let C_n be the unit cube in R^n with vertices (e_1, e_2, ..., e_n) where each e_i is 0 or 1 and all 2^n combinations are used. Then T(i, n)/n! is the volume of C_n between the hyperplanes x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n = i and x_1 + x_2 + ... + x_n = i+1. Hence T(i, n)/n! is the probability that i <= X_1 + X_2 + ... + X_n < i+1 where the X_j are independent uniform [0, 1] distributions. - See Ehrenborg & Readdy reference.
4. Let f(i, n) = T(i, n)/n!. The f(i, n) are the unique coefficients so that (1/(r-1)^(n+1)) Sum_{i=0..n-1} f(i, n) r^{i+1} = Sum_{j>=0} (j^n)/(r^j) whenever n>=1 and abs(r)>1. (End)

Bell_n(x) = Sum_{j=0..n} S2(n,j) * x^j = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * Lag(n,-x, j-n) = Sum_{j=0..n} (E(n,j)/n!) * (n!*Lag(n,-x, j-n)) = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * binomial(Bell.(x)+j, n) umbrally where Bell_n(x) are the Bell / Touchard / exponential polynomials; S2(n,j), the Stirling numbers of the second kind; E(n,j), the Eulerian numbers; and Lag(n,x,m), the associated Laguerre polynomials of order m.
For x = 0, the equation gives Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * binomial(j,n) = 1 for n=0 and 0 for all other n. By substituting the umbral compositional inverse of the Bell polynomials, the lower factorial n!*binomial(y,n), for x in the equation, the Worpitzky identity is obtained; y^n = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * binomial(y+j,n).
Note that E(n,j)/n! = E(n,j)/(Sum_{k=0..n} E(n,k)). Also (n!*Lag(n, -1, j-n)) is A086885 with a simple combinatorial interpretation in terms of seating arrangements, giving a combinatorial interpretation to the equation for x=1; n!*Bell_n(1) = n!*Sum_{j=0..n} S2(n,j) = Sum_{j=0..n} E(n,j) * (n!*Lag(n, -1, j-n)).

For k = 0,1,2,... put G(k,x,t) := x -(1+2^k*t)*x^2/2 +(1+2^k*t+3^k*t^2)*x^3/3-(1+2^k*t+3^k*t^2+4^k*t^3)*x^4/4+.... Then the series reversion of G(k,x,t) with respect to x gives an e.g.f. for the present table when k = 0 and for A008517 when k = 1.
The e.g.f. B(x,t) := compositional inverse with respect to x of G(0,x,t) = (exp(x)-exp(x*t))/(exp(x*t)-t*exp(x)) = x + (1+t)*x^2/2! + (1+4*t+t^2)*x^3/3! + ... satisfies the autonomous differential equation dB/dx = (1+B)*(1+t*B) = 1 + (1+t)*B + t*B^2.
Applying [Bergeron et al., Theorem 1] gives a combinatorial interpretation for the Eulerian polynomials: A(n,t) counts plane increasing trees on n vertices where each vertex has outdegree <= 2, the vertices of outdegree 1 come in 1+t colors and the vertices of outdegree 2 come in t colors. An example is given below. Cf. A008517. Applying [Dominici, Theorem 4.1] gives the following method for calculating the Eulerian polynomials: Let f(x,t) = (1+x)*(1+t*x) and let D be the operator f(x,t)*d/dx. Then A(n+1,t) = D^n(f(x,t)) evaluated at x = 0.
(End)

Let [n] denote the ordered set {1,2,...,n}. The symmetric group S_n consists of the injective mappings p:[n] -> [n]. Such a permutation p has an excedance at position i, 1 <= i < n, if p(i) > i. One well-known interpretation of the Eulerian numbers A(n,k) is that they count the permutations in the symmetric group S_n with k excedances. The triangle of Eulerian numbers is A008292 (but with an offset of 1 in the column numbering). We generalize this definition to restricted permutations as follows.
Let r be a nonnegative integer and let Permute(n,n-r) denote the set of injective maps p:[n-r] -> [n], which we think of as permutations of n numbers taken n-r at a time. Clearly, |Permute(n,n-r)| = n!/r!. We say that p has an excedance at position i, 1 <= i <= n-r, if p(i) > i. Then the r-Eulerian number, denoted by A(r;n,k), is defined as the number of permutations in Permute(n,n-r) having k excedances. Thus the current array of 2-Eulerian numbers gives the number of permutations in Permute(n,n-2) with k excedances. See the example section below for some numerical examples.
Clearly A(0;n,k) = A(n,k). The case r = 1 also produces the ordinary Eulerian numbers A(n,k). There is an obvious bijection from Permute(n,n) to Permute(n,n-1) that preserves the number of excedances of a permutation. Consequently, the 1-Eulerian numbers are equal to the 0-Eulerian numbers: A(1;n,k) = A(0;n,k) = A(n,k).
For other cases of r-Eulerian numbers see A144697 (r = 3), A144698 (r = 4) and A144699 (r = 5). There is also a concept of r-Stirling numbers of the first and second kinds - see A143491 and A143494. If we multiply the entries of the current array by a factor of 2 and then reverse the rows we obtain A120434.
An alternative interpretation of the current array due to [Strosser] involves the 2-excedance statistic of a permutation (see also [Foata & Schutzenberger, Chapitre 4, Section 3]). We define a permutation p in Permute(n,n-2) to have a 2-excedance at position i (1 <=i <= n-2) if p(i) >= i + 2.
Given a permutation p in Permute(n,n-2), define ~p to be the permutation in Permute(n,n-2) that takes i to n+1 - p(n-i-1). The map ~ is a bijection of Permute(n,n-2) with the property that if p has (resp. does not have) an excedance in position i then ~p does not have (resp. has) a 2-excedance at position n-i-1. Hence ~ gives a bijection between the set of permutations with k excedances and the set of permutations with (n-k) 2-excedances. Thus reading the rows of this array in reverse order gives a triangle whose entries count the permutations in Permute(n,n-2) with k 2-excedances.
Example: Represent a permutation p:[n-2] -> [n] in Permute(n,n-2) by its image vector (p(1),...,p(n-2)). In Permute(10,8) the permutation p = (1,2,4,7,10,6,5,8) does not have an excedance in the first two positions (i = 1 and 2) or in the final three positions (i = 6, 7 and 8). The permutation ~p = (3,6,5,1,4,7,9,10) has 2-excedances only in the first three positions and the final two positions.

This is the array A(1,1,3) in the notation of Hwang et al. (p. 25), where the authors remark that the r-Eulerian numbers were first studied by Shanlan Li (Duoji Bilei, Ch. 4), who gave the summation formulas
Sum_{i = 2..n+1} (i-1)*C(i,2) = C(n+3,4) + 2*C(n+2,4)
Sum_{i = 2..n+1} (i-1)^2*C(i,2) = C(n+4,5) + 7*C(n+3,5) + 4*C(n+2,5)
Sum_{i = 2..n+1} (i-1)^3*C(i,2) = C(n+5,6) + 18*C(n+4,6) + 33*C(n+3,6) + 8*C(n+2,6). (End)

Row 4 = [1,7,4]: We represent a permutation p:[n-2] -> [n] in Permute(n,n-2) by its image vector (p(1),...,p(n-2)). Here n = 4. The permutation (1,2) has no excedances; 7 permutations have a single excedance, namely, (1,3), (1,4), (2,1), (3,1), (3,2), (4,1) and (4,2); the remaining 4 permutations, (2,3), (2,4), (3,4) and (4,3) each have two excedances.

Sum_{k = 2..n} T(n,n-k)*binomial(x+k,n) = (1/2!)*(x + 1)^(n-1)*(x + 2).

The row polynomials of this array are related to the Eulerian polynomials. For example, 1/2*x*d/dx [x*(x + 4*x^2 + x^3)/(1-x)^4] = x^2*(1 + 7*x + 4*x^2)/(1-x)^5 and 1/2*x*d/dx [x*(x + 11*x^2 + 11*x^3 + x^4)/(1-x)^5] = x^2*(1 + 18*x + 33*x^2 + 8*x^3)/(1-x)^6.

This is the case r = 3 of the r-Eulerian numbers, denoted by A(r;n,k), defined as follows. Let [n] denote the ordered set {1,2,...,n} and let r be a nonnegative integer. Let Permute(n,n-r) denote the set of injective maps p:[n-r] -> [n], which we think of as permutations of n numbers taken n-r at a time. Clearly, |Permute(n,n-r)| = n!/r!. We say that the permutation p has an excedance at position i, 1 <= i <= n-r, if p(i) > i. Then the r-Eulerian number A(r;n,k) is defined as the number of permutations in Permute(n,n-r) with k excedances. Thus the 3-Eulerian numbers count the permutations in Permute(n,n-3) with k excedances (see the example section below for a numerical example).
For other cases see A008292 (r = 0 and r = 1), A144696 (r = 2), A144698 (r = 4) and A144699 (r = 5).
An alternative interpretation of the current array due to [Strosser] involves the 3-excedance statistic of a permutation (see also [Foata & Schutzenberger, Chapitre 4, Section 3]). We define a permutation p in Permute(n,n-3) to have a 3-excedance at position i (1 <= i <= n-3) if p(i) >= i + 3.
Given a permutation p in Permute(n,n-3), define ~p to be the permutation in Permute(n,n-3) that takes i to n+1 - p(n-i-2). The map ~ is a bijection of Permute(n,n-3) with the property that if p has (resp. does not have) an excedance in position i then ~p does not have (resp. has) a 3-excedance at position n-i-2. Hence ~ gives a bijection between the set of permutations with k excedances and the set of permutations with (n-k) 3-excedances. Thus reading the rows of this array in reverse order gives a triangle whose entries count the permutations in Permute(n,n-3) with k 3-excedances.
Example: Represent a permutation p:[n-3] -> [n] in Permute(n,n-3) by its image vector (p(1),...,p(n-3)). In Permute(10,7) the permutation p = (1,2,4,10,3,6,5) does not have an excedance in the first two positions (i = 1 and 2) or in the final three positions (i = 5, 6 and 7). The permutation ~p = (6,5,8,1,7,9,10) has 3-excedances only in the first three positions and the final two positions.

This is the case r = 4 of the r-Eulerian numbers, denoted by A(r;n,k), defined as follows. Let [n] denote the ordered set {1,2,...,n} and let r be a nonnegative integer. Let Permute(n,n-r) denote the set of injective maps p:[n-r] -> [n], which we think of as permutations of n numbers taken n-r at a time. Clearly, |Permute(n,n-r)| = n!/r!. We say that the permutation p has an excedance at position i, 1 <= i <= n-r, if p(i) > i. Then the r-Eulerian number A(r;n,k) is defined as the number of permutations in Permute(n,n-r) with k excedances. Thus the 4-Eulerian numbers are the number of permutations in Permute(n,n-4) with k excedances. For other cases see A008292 (r = 0 and r = 1), A144696 (r = 2), A144697 (r = 3) and A144699 (r = 5).
An alternative interpretation of the current array due to [Strosser] involves the 4-excedance statistic of a permutation (see also [Foata & Schutzenberger, Chapter 4, Section 3]). We define a permutation p in Permute(n,n-4) to have a 4-excedance at position i (1 <= i <= n-4) if p(i) >= i + 4.
Given a permutation p in Permute(n,n-4), define ~p to be the permutation in Permute(n,n-4) that takes i to n+1 - p(n-i-3). The map ~ is a bijection of Permute(n,n-4) with the property that if p has (resp. does not have) an excedance in position i then ~p does not have (resp. has) a 4-excedance at position n-i-3. Hence ~ gives a bijection between the set of permutations with k excedances and the set of permutations with (n-k) 4-excedances. Thus reading the rows of this array in reverse order gives a triangle whose entries are the number of permutations in Permute(n,n-4) with k 4-excedances.
Example: Represent a permutation p:[n-4] -> [n] in Permute(n,n-4) by its image vector (p(1),...,p(n-4)). In Permute(10,6) the permutation p = (1,2,4,10,3,6) does not have an excedance in the first two positions (i = 1 and 2) or in the final two positions (i = 5 and 6). The permutation ~p = (5,8,1,7,9,10) has 4-excedances only in the first two positions and the final two positions.
